I need to make a confession: I was obsessed with researching Medi-Cal. We decided to put the spotlight on ingredients, side effects, clinical research and customer service quality. Additionally, we analyzed hundreds of customer comments and testimonials. Then, we summarized and condensed to give you the info you need.
What is Medi-Cal?
First off, Medi-Cal is dietary supplement containing sodium caseinate, soy protein isolate, nonfat dry milk, fructose, natural and artificial flavors, potassium citrate, cellulose gum, egg white solids, maltodextrin, vitamins and minerals. Replace one or two meals with the drink and supposedly you’ll lose weight. One benefit is the availability of community support.
Medi-Cal was created in 1988 and appears to contains some natural ingredients, a plus. You can purchase the supplements on the official website. If you sign up for membership, you’ll receive a discount. We like that we found some positive customer comments and the program offers an eating plan, but read on…
Ineffectiveness – “No Weight-Loss?”
The first concern was the effectiveness of Medi-Cal ingredients. “Protein is considered a staple in any weight-loss program,” said our Research Editor. “But if the formula doesn’t help you drop the pounds, is there any real benefit?”
“Not at all what it claims to be. Tried it and did exactly what it said and drank lots of water with it. Not even lose a pound,” commented a customer.
“I gave it a try and didn’t see any result,” reported another.
We found that some dieters tried the shakes and did in fact notice a difference.
“Good product. I have lost some weight and kept it off,” said a user.
Poor Taste – “Not the Best!”
We picked apart customer comments in the forums and a common concern was the poor taste of Medi-Cal ingredients. “Shakes less than appealing. Too salty to be really sweet and too sweet to be savory,” commented a user.
“Tried different flavorings and extracts and the taste never improved,” reported a dieter.
“Just couldn’t stomach the shakes. It was gritty and I could bear to drink it,” said another.
Some customers had to alter to shakes in order to drink them.
“I’ve tried the chocolate with a teaspoon of sugar free chocolate pudding and vanilla with a teaspoon of sugar free cheesecake pudding. Not the best, but not bad,” said a consumer.
“I added dry pudding mixes to it or fruit and it wasn’t that bad,” commented another.
Throughout our research and years of experience, we’ve found that anything considered a concern, like a poor tasting supplement, could limit the chances of long- term success. If Medi-Cal doesn’t provide a spark to the taste buds, this could be an issue.
The Science – “Clinical Proof?”
While the official Medi-Cal website states the supplements are clinically-proven, there’s no research available proving it works. We can gather that replacing two or three meals with a 100 calorie shake and following an intermittent fasting diet could lead to weight-loss, but there’s just no evidence that it’s effective. At DietSpotlight, we look for studies to prove a product or plan works. If there’s no solid science to back it up, we become a bit hesitant.
The Bottom Line – Does Medi-Cal Work?
Before you place your order, hear our final thoughts on Medi-Cal. Well, we like the longevity of the company and that we found some favorable customer comments, but we’re concerned about this one because there’s no published clinical research proving it helps you lose weight. We’re also skeptical due to customers talking about the poor taste and a formula that simply doesn’t work.
If long-term weight-loss is your goal, we suggest going with a supplement containing some clinically-tested ingredients, which have been shown to work.
Among the best supplements we’ve researched in 2016 is one called Leptigen. The formula consists of some clinically-tested ingredients and has been shown to accelerate metabolism and ignite fat loss; both being essential to weight-loss. There’s no one talking about negative side effects, but customers are seeing great results.
Also, the makers of Leptigen are offering customers a Special Trial Offer, which is an excellent sign of confidence in their supplement.
